Master skills in a simulated hospital setting before working in actual hospital practice! The 96 exercises and activities in this practice manual correspond to LaFleur Brooks' Health Unit Coordinating, 6th Edition and provide hands-on experience by specifying necessary skills, as well as the materials and steps you need to practice them. Plus, the companion CD-ROM packaged with this manual simulates a hospital computer system to help you hone skills you'll use in the field!

• Activities correspond to chapters in the main text to make using the practice manual with the text easy.
• "Practice Activity Software for Transcription of Physicians' Orders" on the companion CD-ROM allows you to complete activities on the computer for realistic practice.
• Practice entering orders, printing a nursing unit census, admitting/transferring/discharging a patient, verifying or canceling tests, locating or creating a patient profile, and more with the realistic hospital computer system on the "Practice Activity Software for Transcription of Physicians' Orders CD-ROM."
• Complete all the same activities from the CD-ROM anywhere, without a computer, with the "Ordering Requisitions" appendix.
• Learn to decipher handwriting with realistic, handwritten doctors' orders.
• "A Clinical Evaluation Record" provides a written record of your performance in the clinical setting to keep track of your success or areas where improvement is needed.
